Intex 56904EB Review
Intex 56904EB Review by Baby Girl (south Louisiana)
I had an 18' one three summers ago and LOVED it! Set up was a little hard, however I was 16 years old at the time (and I'm a girl) and did it all by myself. You do need a big air pump and not a manual one or you will be pumping for days! Once I got the top ring filled up I put an inch of water in it and smoothed out the wrinkles the best I could, but seeing as how I was only 16 and doing it by myself I didn't get them all out, however what few wrinkles were still there didn't really matter. It took all night to fill, but by the next morning it's ready to go! DO get the maintanence starter kit and put the sun conditioner in it while its filling, then put chlorine in it that morning when its full, and shock it for the first time that week. Put chlorine in it every other day to keep it clean and run the filter for at least 4 hours a day. The vacume that comes with it is a total waste and doesn't work. I really had no problems keeping this pool clean, I just used the skimmer everytime I got in it to swim and went underwater with some goggles and got all the debris out with it (I'm a total neat freak)! DO use the cover as much as you possibly can, I recommend putting it on everynight and DEFINATELY when it rains, rainwater will make your water gross and you will have to work harder to clean it. It does take two people to put the cover on...it's REALLY hard to do by yourself, and it will rip if you pull it too hard. I did have trouble with the pump hose popping off once and it drained half my pool, but it was my fault. I didn't tighten the hoses to the pool enough... I used a penny to do it like on the video, but I highly recommend using a screw driver. After that I had no more problems. And the top ring will lose some air from the hot sun, but I easily kept it filled by physically putting air into it by blowing into it everyother day. My pool did end up growing algea b/c I went away on vaction and nobody would help me by putting the chlorine in it and they always forgot to run the filter pump, so I drained it and just left it there and we ended up draging it to the side of the road to be haulded off on garbage day...but if you keep chlorine in it and run the pump you shouldn't have any problems. As far as the ground being level, I recommend leveling it. I didn't level it the summer I had mine and one end was about 2'' deeper than the other side. It was still swimmable, but every now and then, when we would pull the cover off, one side would buckle and water would spill over the top and it took some effort to pull the ring back up (and a drinched outfit).
All-in-All this was a GREAT pool for the price(seeing as how we can't afford an inground). It is deep enough for aduts (at least three to four adults can tan at a time on rafts), and still shallow enough for the younger children. The maintanence can get annoying to keep up, but it is worth it not to have to drain your pool to rid it of algea. My brother had another baby and I'm taking care of my new nephew all summer, so we are going to invest in another one this year. We live in Lousiana and with the humidity and heat index it gets to 115 degrees in the summer, so we have to have a pool not to die of heat stoke (you know how babies love being outside)! However this year we are either going to concrete the pool area or get some dirt hauled to have it leveled.
I highly recommend this product if you take the time to keep it clean!!!!!!
Intex 56904EB Review by "gpsbsktmom" (Nashua, NH)
We have had three of these INTEX Easy Set Up pools in the past five years. For safety reasons we decided to start with the small one and just last year our son was tall enough to move on to this great big wonder of a pool. We love it!!! It is true that it is not easy to set up but a nice BBQ and some pina coladas will surely bring in the help needed. All you really need is a little air pump to start the set up. It is heavy and it will not fill in a couple of hours so forget that; but after it is laid out you are all set...the pool appears the next morning, like magic! there are no complicated floor plans, no weird poles and there is just no way you can get it wrong. BUT, remember that you want to put the hoses away from the normal walking traffic path...it can be a serious safety issue with kids tripping or you might just mow the cord down while doing the grass. Keep this in mind if you decide to skip the set up video; most men don't "need to watch the video", HaHaHa! This pool is a really great investment. If you have a small yard, it is a keeper. You take the water out in the fall, leave it in place covered by a tarp and set up the trampoline right over it for fall fun. It is worth the heavy lifting and every penny.... your
kids will love it! Invest in a REAL filter if you decide to buy
a small one...the large ones come with a good filter but the small ones come with a joke of a filter, spare yourself hours of
cleaning by buying a good filter. Your time in the pool is better spent playing than cleaning, YUK! We loved this pool so much we have had three ... Each one a little bigger than the last; wonder if they'll come out with a six foot one>>> YIKES!

Calling it an "inflatable" pool undermines the actual product.Very strong construction and the pump is impressive as well. Intex stresses placing the pool on a LEVEL surface and that can't be stressed enough. That's where you'll spend most of your set up time. Things went quickly after that. A compressor is best to inflate unless you want to pump for a while. Spread the bottom out while putting top ring and sides walls into the center. There was very little adjusting of the floor while filling by doing this. Screw on a couple of connectors manually and fill! It took about 12 hours with good water pressure to fill to 5600 gallons.
The vacuum included doesn't work well for fine "silt" dirt,(seeped out of the cheesecloth collection bag).
Pump maintanence is super easy. 5-10 minutes depending on how dirty!
This pool is well worth the money. Invest in a better vacuum if you are in a windy/dusty region.
